[QUOTE="70oldsracer, post: 1773105, member: 95943"] There are strict fire codes in NYC and we are only allowed to have a total of 200 rounds of ammunition, that's not per caliber, that's total. We can not have powder in NYC either, they will not even ship it here. Okay, reamer holder wasn't swirling, but you could see slight movement which I assumed was the reamer following the bore. As far as the muzzle end is concerned, I set the barrel back in the lathe with the muzzle end in the spider and indicated the barrel back in off the range rod. The chamber end was in the spider and I indicated off the range rod until it was running as true as I could get it. I then made a truing cut on the barrel for the steady rest to ride on. I added the steady rest for more stability while I chambered the barrel. I double checked that everything was running just as true as it was before I added the steady rest. So at this point, no matter what way I chambered the barrel, it ended up with .0012" of runout. Is this enough to make the barrel shoot that bad? I have a video of how I used to thread a barrel for a brake before I made the spider, I'll try to post it. [/QUOTE]
